Watchlist (Do This Now)

Start by creating a watchlist of all the domains that you might want to register (you can do this now, and you should!

During the first phase, the majority of domains will not be ready for purchase but, by setting up a domain watchlist you can keep an eye on when they become available and how to order them when they do.

Sunrise

If you already have a registered trademark in place you’ll want to make sure to do what you can to protect your brand; which means buying the domains before they are offered to the public. It’s during this “Sunrise” period you can stake your claim on desired domains.

Landrush

This is the time when the doors are officially opened to buyers and the general public has a chance to snatch up domains. If many people are all vying for the same domain, it will go to auction and the highest bidder will get it.

General Availability

During this time registration is open to anyone and is first-come, first-serve. If you weren’t able to order your domains during the Sunrise or Landrush phases, this is your chance. We’ll work together to comb through your watchlist and attempt to register every domain you seek as quickly as possible.

Each phase requires specific pre-registration fees, some which can be refunded if your purchase is unsuccessful.
